Mediterranean diet and Alzheimer

To evaluate its effectiveness, we cite the study that was published in the Archives of Neurology:

The research was applied on a total of 2,258 not insane people in New York, who were evaluated every year and a half, both in nutrition and in other specific markers.

The results showed that people that came closer to the nutrition model of the Mediterranean diet had a lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease.

These effects are due to the quality of dietary fat and antioxidant anti-inflammatory effect and all of its components, both olive oil as plant-abundance.
